45-foot-tall statue of nude woman to stand on National Mall

A massive statue of a nude woman is set to stand alongside the Washington Monument later this year.

Organizers of Catharsis On The Mall event have launched a crowdfunding campaign seeking $90,000 to transport the 45-foot-tall statue, titled R-Evolution, to Washington D.C.

"R-Evolution is Deja Solis, a woman standing in her strength and power...expressing her humanity; how she feels when she is safe, when she can just be," the group said.

The National Park Service has granted permission for R-Evolution to stand on the National Mall from November to March as long as volunteers hold a constant vigil around the statue.

"For four months, she will be the focal point of a continuing vigil in support of education and awareness about the Equal Rights Amendment and will be present on the anniversary of the Women's March on January 21, 2018," Catharsis On The Mall organizers said.

I wonder what the reaction would be if rioters tore down the statue and defaced it like has happened to confederate statues?

Who approves what can go on the National Mall? We need to bombard them with emails, tweets, Facebook whatever to stop it. Will it be wearing a burqa ?

It’s paganism. Without monotheism humans always sink into paganism.

For eons, people have been worshipping her. Satan has a field day with feeble minds and easy thoughts.... Passing counterfeits is easy, apparently.

But, Followers of Jesus are the one who are nuts, right?

The Left in this country is relentless.

They sure are. This appears to be part of their plan to bring the ERA back from the dead. They've been working on this for years. Look it up.

So it’s a political statement. May the birds poop all over it.

So when there’s a light drizzle, the water will work its way down along the statue until it gets to the crotch and start dripping.

In a way, it's fitting.

The National Tit should be in Washington, D.C.

In Gaia we trust.

“Is she hot?”

This is the Left we’re talking about, so there’s not much chance. Sorry, Laz!
